VII, VIII, and IX

tibilt

can anyone help me get a copy of 7, 8 and 9?

Tar.Aldarion

you can pick them up in dublin where you are located.saw them in a few game shops there not so long ago.although ffvii was like 45 euro which was ridiculous!
i also would like 7.it is the only one out of them all i do not have and have not completed.
you could also have a look on the forums where you can buy and sell things

Stalfos

vii and ix can be found in Dublin i think but viii is very hard to find. A friend of mine looked for it for two years and eventually found it in tesco store in greystones co.wicklow of all places.

Tar.Aldarion

i bout viii for a tenner in xtra vision now i'm sayin what a deal!

Retr0gamer

Unfortunately for you FFVIII is muck.

Try Ebay. The FF games are popular but definitely not rare. You will get ripped off by shops in Ireland unless you are lucky.

Tar.Aldarion

for a tenner i say! btw i thoroughly enjoyed it so therefore i do not believe it was muck.
shops in ireland will rip you off yes! get it off a friend or ebay or something.

Retr0gamer

Okay, I did enjoy it but in terms of story, battle system and characters it was by far the worst of the FF games until the atrocious FFX-2.

Raggamuffin

final fantasy 7 in gamestop or at least when it was gamesworld...

12 euro...

and perfect condition.

ask behind the counter cause most likely they try and sell off the s.hit games on the shelf to stupid parents

being the 2nd worst ff isn't too bad one of them has to be there.didn't take the story too seriously now lol but there are cool parts in the game i like.isn't 8 the one where your summon odin gets destroyed by cloud and your like wtf and then that other aeon comes along and kicks his ass that was great!

I got stuck in FFVIII when I realised I'd lost Disc 4. booo...

D

Burn,
Yeah seifer kills odin but gilgamesh replaces him.

Tar.Aldarion

ah yes gilgamesh enjoyed that but i think i was really bored when it happened

ghostchant

was it possible to wait until the final disc to get odin?
I wish i'd done that cos gilgamesh was a bit hit or miss really

Tar.Aldarion

never really tried assumed that odin was meant to 'die' then plus it was really great to have odin he has the best name.

You've got to get him before some later fight with Seifer as

when the fight begins, Odin appears and Seifer kicks his ass and Gilgamesh takes his place... with crapness

Tar.Aldarion

how do you do that spoiler thing for ages i just thought i wasn't allowed access to the information in it

Just put the spoiler in the appropriate tags like so...

[*spoiler]oh my god, keyser soze is...[/*spoiler]

without the '*'s of course

Tar.Aldarion

ah cool thanks.that would have been my random guess.plus nice use of the keyser as an eg.

Retr0gamer

On my first go I didn't get Odin until after the Seifer fight. He doesn't get killed then but you can't get gilgamesh afterwards.

Rhyme

Aye, but its pretty cool to see Odin get

cut in half

, gilgamesh kinda sucks though... ive only seen him do a proper damaging attack once or twice

Retr0gamer

Especially when Gilgamesh shows up to do his excalipur attack. long loading and animation sequence followed by 1 health point off the bad guys. Thanks Gilgamesh for wasting my life.

no way!

viii has the best and most in depth battle/equip/magic system from all of those in question!

btw is there any other rpgs that uses a system like junctioning out there?

Glipmac

They are making a film of FF7 (advent children) and they are making a Vincent Film, i am inclined to say tha 7 is and always will be the best no doubt and X-2 is not a FF game in my eyes ever since Enix joined Squaresoft the games have been getting worse

Who's with me X-2 is not an FF Game (completed all FF games Execpt 3 the japanese version 3 in america is 6)

glipmac :cool:

This Vincent film you refer to isnt a film... its a game called 'Dirge of Cerebus'... and it doesnt look to good either, seems to just be shooting the crap out of stuff... i guess time will tell

Glipmac

where is the problem? shooting the crap outta stuff works for me

Glip :cool:

Junctioning made the game way to easy. Junction 100 Firagas/Curagas or whatever (I remeber spending hours getting 100 of most spells for every character. ) to each characters stats and you were sorted for the game.

And the most annoying GF in respect to loading time was Eden I think its name was? You drew it from the Ultima machine? I only used it once, as it took 40 damn seconds for the animation to finish.

i know this thread has kind of drifted off topic but i just want to thank those people who gave advice on how to find them and let you know i just bought all three from ebay for less than £30. so if anyone else is looking for a copy of any of VII, VIII or IX for themselves ebay is definately a good place to look.

good job you will enjoy them.

you are most certainly welcome.

but for me, thoughout all the games Bahamut was the best, especially in VII having then of them rocked bigtime, the animation was great aswell

Tar.Aldarion

shiva was also fairly cool but in my opinion odin just out classed them all!.

Gilgamesh

I liked Alexander in FF IX aswell, the cutscene when he was activated the first time was great
